The Fsne!er's Motives.

People raise and breed chickens from
variety of motives. There is the sordld
motive of gain, which divides itself into all
the different channels by which money can
be made by raising fowls on the one hand,
and breeding theDi on the other. The fowl
raiser who regards the hen simply as an
egg-laying machine, not so easily managed
as an incubator, and costing more besides,
seeks the most prolific layers, cares for them
well, forces their egg laying in every way
he knows, and measures their beauty and
value by the number of eggs they will Lay.
The raiser of broilers is of his ilk, and so
is the fattener of table fowls and capons.
They work for the shekels, and il is an
honorable and commendable business. We
wish there wer, great deal more of 1t done.
Then there are fowl breeders who raise
fowls of pure Breeds and whose motiye is
to sell. They have sort Of enthusiasm
for. their beautiful and varied breeds, but
fol one rs much as for another. They 90
from yard to yard and point out the fire
points of one, with the same zest that they
10 that of others. They breed true to
points and the standard that they may be
sure to win more or less prizes at the poul-
try shows, for the reputation of the es-
Lablishment, and the better sale of their
chickens at fancy prices. Breeders of game
fowls breed to win. There is nothing SCR
lid about their breeding. They sell moth
ing; all not fully up to their standard OF
excellence are killed and eaten, though
hey might be sold at high prices. The
test is the pit, and OH this and its influences
we will not dwell.
Now there is arother class of breeders,
truly called "Fanciers," who have an en-.
thusiasm for certain breed or group oi
breeds, and these they raise and study, and
ry to perfect in every way in their power
they do not breed for money, but for love
as an incidental reward the may get piei tN
of eggs. Tncy may have large prices of
fered for birds out of winning coops, bu
that is not the motive of the fancicT. ii,

eliminate false color there, and he re
joices III success.

Lawns and EverRreens.

In making new lawn, the first point is
he proper preparation of the soil. II
should be thoroughly and deeply titled, with
an abundance of well composted manure
worked into it. Then sow four or six
bushels of seed to the acre. In making a
new lawn, 1t is well TO lay an edge of turf
along the paths or roads, and along the
margins of the beds that are TO be made in
the lawn-If p .ths or walks are to be
made, whatever the material, secure good
foundation by eNcavating and filling in
broken stone to make a solid beltom--
This is the mJnth usually preferred for
transplanling eyergreens. The essential
point is to prevent the roots from drying.
From the minute they are taken from the
soil to the time when they go into it again,
the roots must not dry. Shelter them from
the sun and air, and, If possible, keep
them wet.

"A good deal of the peculiar mutton
taste is taken out of it when mutton is
cured.
TO properly keep straw and hay in
stacks, the stacks must be SO constructed
as to shed water.
"A writer in Gardening Illustrated says
he has found sulphide of potassium an
efficient remedy for mildew on the straw

Sulphur and old tobacco leayes burned
in the poultry house, the house being closed
perfectly tight, will clean out the red
lice.
One Of the best supplementary feeds
with corn fodder is wheat bran. Usually
1t can be bought cheaply at this season and
is even better in the winter as supplement
tary feed for cows.

A SENSATION.

Why is it that three bottles of B. B. B.
are sold in Atlanta to one of any other
blood remedy, and twice as much con-
sumed in the state of Georgia as any
other preparation? No one need take
our word, but simply ask the druggists.
Ask the people. They are competent
witnesses. Six houses in Atlanta
are buying B. B. B. in five and ten gross
lots, and some of them buy as often as
every two months Why these unpre-
cedented sales here at home with so little
advertising? Modesty forbids US making
any reply Had B. B. B. been before
the public quarter or half centuery, it
would not be necessary TO be bolstered
up with crutches of page advertisements

Bilis for Grant,s Funeral.

Bkli6 IOr WEaNb1S EuueInis
New York, Aug. 1.-THE late General
Lloyd Aspinwall was one Of the eids OF
Gen. Hancock az the Grant funeral, and
as such was authorized to incur certain
liabilities. General Aspinwall hired o
number OF horses for the use Of the staff
from Charles w. Diokel, and purchased
e number OF articles, such as material
for Bashes, from Daniel Il lion. The
latter bill, which amounted 10 1888 30,
Gen. Aspjnwsn paid himself, but the
bill for the horses which as az first pres.
ented was for $3.50, was disapproved as
excessive, and was then reduced to $3.50.
The amended hill was approved by Gen,
Aspinwall and turned over witE his own
bill for other articles to Gen. Hancock
to be forwarded to the government.
Gen. Hancock repeatedly told Gen.
Aspipwaia afterward that tEese bills, to-
gether with q number of Others, amount.
ing in all to about $1,000. had been for
warded to the government of Washing
ton. These bills have been in Washington
now nssrly two years, end yet not one OF
them has w been paid, n o it aoes not
aven appear that they have ever been
presented to congress for an appropris-
tion. Possibly they are pigeon-holed
somewhere in the aichiyes OF the Wal
department. The latest phase 3oi the
